3 posts • viewed 58 times

Hi, another Indian coin, I believe - looks in the style of the Kushan Empire, but again, can’t quite find an image match.

 

appearance - copper / brass

size - 25mm x 5-6mm thick

 

any help appreciated,

many thanks

 

Coin of Kushan Empire,  Kanishka I.

The first image shows Wind god Oado (Vado) running left, holding up cloak to represent the wind, Bactrian legend right: OAΔO, tamgha at left

The second image shows crowned, diademed king standing facing, holding spear and sacrificing at altar at left.  These coin have Bactrian legend around: þAO KA ... NηþKI (King Kanishka), but it is mostly out of flan on your coin.

Weight will help you with exact denomination. Similar example can be found on below link,
